Going to hit lower body later today. It's unfathomable to me how I'm still stuck on the bench. Went down to 225lbs. No matter how many times I get to this weight, i can't seem to do better than 235x6. Been stuck here for years lol.

Going to buy creatine and get back on track with gains. Been stalling for too long. Also haven't been eating enough protein lately.

edit: Updated. felt an immediate improvement from the creatine. Or was it just placebo? Either way, I'll be consistent with it from now on.

Getting a bit depressed as to how I'm stalling. My knees also felt a little brittle (played some light outdoor bball yesterday) and my squat is nowhere near where it used to be. Plus  I weigh more. I feel like I'll never hit a 40 inch vert, never bench 315, and a few other things.

Good news: EY called me back for a final round interview this Friday. I'll be at their offices from 12:30pm to 4:00pm the lastest... wtf that's long. Behavioral interviews again. It's for forensic technology. Deloitte still hasn't gotten back to me with a decision. Probably won't tomorrow either (election day). Fingers crossed. The job in queens should get back to me this week and we will work out a start date.

Had my final round interviews for EY. Killed it. Also, what a beautiful office.
Still haven't heard back from Deloitte. Will probably take another 2 weeks.
Finished the background check for that other job in Queens (infosec compliance tech). Will be starting near the end of the month :)

Fingers crossed For Big 4!

Got offers from both EY and Deloitte
 :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record:

My hard work has paid off.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Both offered me the same salary.
EY Forensic Technology & eDiscovery Services
Deloitte Cyber Risk Services

Leaning towards deloitte since the projects and jobs seem closer to what I want to be doing. I will negotiate the offers with both of them though! Crazy how I'll be making literally double what I made at my last job. I didn't even get sick days. Just 2 weeks vacation, and I couldn't even take them at the same time. No health benefits before either.

Worked out at my gym's other location. Don't know what it is, but the equipment just felt better here. The weights didn't feel lighter, it's more that I sunk into the bench and felt very stable so I can push better. The grips on the pull up bars were better so I could pull better. Stuff like that. That's why I lifted more.

I wish this location was closer to my home!

On another note, I have finished all of my assignments for my MS degree ahead of time to let myself focuson on these two 5,000 word papers I have to write, IEEE style. Man I hate this shit. We got a new chair of the dept and he is teaching this "projects & internships" class which has nothing to do with internships at all. It's just paper writings and presentations. This guy wants to make the MS degree less hands on and more research based. WTF. The whole point of my uni's MS degree was to target it towards working professionals: it has weekend only classes, and the majority of the professors are in the industry, NOT phd's. So its more hands on work. Nobody in the industry is coming to this MS program to do research... they can go to NSA-accredited schools for that crap.

let me not even get into the fact that part of our grade is dependent on how "publishable" the papers are. the papers must talk about something *new* in the field, some type of advancement, and be worth something. and if it's really good, he'll help you edit it and put his name second on the paper and get you published.... yeah.... big red flag there..... all this fucker cares about is getting published. reminds me of those professors that assign their own textbooks as the required text.

Pretty good workout. Start my new job next week, and I'll be taking creatine and a lot of whey daily. I expect some decent squat gains soon.
